We think we can control everything in life but we are so wrong! It is stronger than me, it is " Love at first sight" ! Another door opens, multiple this one. When I open it, there is allways another! It is the 3D door and along its bends there is more than three rooms. I shape my way, I mould and cut, I knead and roll, I glue and paint and splash the walls with dirt.

The 50's are for me such an inspiration! They are Adèle, Louise, Pierrette, Cécile and Marie. I think of them, the mothers and sisters and aunts. I feel the need to comfort them. They have worked so hard, sometimes subdued and fragile, sometimes in the shade but allways strong. They are tree and forest, unmovable. I am still in the women's room, I heard so much about it and dreamed of it. In it I will establish my quarters.

In 2006 I need freedom, I paint abstract backgrounds on canvas. This techniques enables me to detach myself. The brush slides and does what it wants. For 6 months, they stay like that at the threshold.

The drawing I wanted to snob comes back , but with the brush, leaving the background washes to decide. I have fun playing with the negatives and positives, the forms appear.

My artist life has many rooms, this the first : Children's portraits, I painted them over 17 years, from 1990 to 2006. Watercolor portraits is the most difficult subject in itself, because there is no forgivness with watercolor on paper. The white you see in these portraits is the support beneith, the paper.

These portraits commanded hours of drawing, but this was a comforting process for me as I had been drawing for many years. Leaving the black and white, watercolor was teaching me the diversity, light and transparency of colors. This medium was a noble but most capricious one that I had yet to tame.

Inspired by my surroundings, the emotion of motherhood was taking place. Joys, sorrows, happiness in all its glory. I was painting children because they were my life. And I dedicate all of this beautiful phase to my parents "Adèle and Wilfrid"
